7 day healthy meal plan
Can you believe that the first month of 2022 is already over? This year is already flying! Did your team make it to the big game? I admit it, I’m not the biggest football fan, but I love a good tailgate party and this Sunday there is none bigger! Are you organizing a party? Be sure to check out my Super Bowl and Appetizers links to find some of my favorite apps like Buffalo Chicken Dip, Burger Sliders, and Pepperoni Pizza Bites. If you’re feeding a crowd, check out my Quick Beef Chili or Madison’s Favorite Beef Tacos and make a taco bar! Enjoy and celebrate safely!

About the meal plan
If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve shared these free and flexible 7-day healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant to be a guide, along with lots of leeway for you to add more food, coffee, drinks, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc. or swap recipes for your favorite meals, you can search for recipes by dish in the index. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.
There’s also an accurate and organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food, and have everything you need on hand to help you stay on track.
